🎉 A powerful moment for Hawthorne!

Hawthorne School District proudly celebrated the opening of our new Health and Wellness Center at Zela Davis School, expanding access to care for our students, families, and community. 💙

From music, games, and hands-on activities to a meaningful ribbon-cutting ceremony, the day was filled with joy, connection, and purpose. This new school-based health center will provide vaccinations, school physicals, mental health services, and more, bringing care closer to home where it matters most.

We are grateful to our partners, staff, and community for making this milestone possible. Together, we are building a healthier future for Hawthorne.

Every school day counts!⁠
⁠
We want to ensure that your child thrives at HSD. If your child is absent, contact the school and ask about Independent Study to help them stay on track for success. 🌟🎓⁠
⁠
Missing 18 or more days in a school year (about 10%) is considered chronic absenteeism. Every day in school is a chance to learn something new, connect with friends, and build strong habits that support our school community! 🚌🏫⁠
